Blackberry Ginger Vegan Cheesecake

Oh man you guys, are you ready for this? Blackberry Ginger Vegan Cheesecake. Have you ever tried a vegan cheesecake before? I honestly hadn’t until I started recipe testing this … whoa. I am officially enamored with cashews and they will be making another appearance very, VERY soon! But for now, I cannot try and persuade you enough to try this recipe. Especially for those who are sensitive to dairy (me) and have been having to say No to the offer of cheesecake for oh-so-long…. this is so amazing. My husband loved it, my kiddos loved it and I really loved it. I have a feeling this is the first of many different vegan cheesecakes!

Before I go back to over-obsessing about this cake – can we talk about the fact that August is almost over? I guess the silver lining there is that it is canning season (which I love). As I sit here typing, I am hearing the “pop” of all of our newly canned Slow-Roasted Heirloom Tomato and Garlic Marinara as they finish processing. Holy cow – if you don’ have a go-to marinara recipe yet, I would HIGHLY recommend this one. Even if you already have a go-to marinara recipe – you should still try this one ? It doesn’t involve blanching (yes, you read that correctly) and it always turns out. Give it a try and let me know what you think!

So this cake … ? No but seriously, I am completely blown away by the deliciousness that is a vegan cheesecake. I really didn’t think it would taste this good. The crust – well it is made out of Purely Elizabeth® Granola and dates. That’s it. The rest is so simple you will be amazed.

I am really digging these vegan desserts – no dairy! Yes, please.

I hope you guys have had a great start to your week – I know we have all been incredibly distracted by current events, the most recent being the horrific flooding in Texas. Here is the link to the Red Cross if you are able and feel the urge to contribute. Our thoughts and prayers are with those affected.

A special shout-out to Dana from The Minimalist Baker and Rachel from Bakerita for all their vegan inspiration!! Check them out if you haven’t already. This recipe is inspired by recipes from both of their blogs!
